Napoli

Napoli will want nothing but a win here as they will stay at the top of Serie A that way. A win will also improve their confidence after the goalless draw with Chievo away from home in their last match. They are aware that Juventus are just behind them by a point and could go above them if they slip up.

Then there is also Inter Milan in third place who are just behind them by two points. Four rounds ago Inter Milan managed a draw with them at home and Coach Sarri's players will want to get the win over AC Milan in this clash.

In the Champions League they will need to beat Shakhtar Donestk if they are to reach the knockout stage so they will need to beat AC Milan as that would also improve their confidence ahead of the Champions League.

As for the team news, out of the side are the likes of defender Ghoulam and striker Milik.

AC Milan

AC Milan at the moment plays better away from home then they do in their home matches. They have recorded two draws and two defeats at home in their last four games, while on their travels they won twice in a row beating the likes of Chievo and Sassulo then they drew with Greek AEK in the Europa League.

In the Europa League they are on course to reach the knockout stages as they have eight points after four rounds. In Serie A, they are in seventh place but the problem is that the gap between them and the teams that occupy the European places are big, so Milan needs to get a good run of results now.

As for the team news, they are without the likes of defenders Conti and Calabria, and midfielder Biglia, while midfielder Bonaventura is rated doubtful as he is not fully recovered.

Napoli vs Milan: Predictions

Milan will be desperate for points but they have been far from a top four side this season. They have failed to make their mark in every single match against a big side so far, losing to Inter, Juventus, Roma, and Lazio. It’s hard to imagine how the Rossoneri will be able to stop a Partenopei side who are unbeaten in their last 24 matches and who have been seemingly scoring at will.
